Application Notes

Narcotine (noscapine) is a non-narcotic alkaloid isolated from the opium poppy Papaver somniferum originally used for its antitussive and hypotensive effects. Narcotine inhibits bradykinin receptor activation in guinea pig airways. Narcotine is an antitumor agent that acts via the binding of its bioactive metabolite, 7-aminonoscapine, to the colchicine binding site of tubulin. Narcotine induces apoptosis via the PTEN/PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway and complexes with lysozyme. Narcotine has neuroprotective and antifibrotic activity.
